Looks like its copying the after market kit that's meant for the MG Sazabi. I'm still waiting to see if I can get a replacement stand adapter for my Kshatriya before I add more weight to the figure

Does this have a die cast inner frame?

Come on... they should hace put everything together in the gatling guns option set... paying shipping plus proxy shipping for such a small item makes it too expensive for me... but I want them...

Simply stunning. The details on this figure far surpass anything I've bought from Bandai. They even used actual photetch parts for the thruster grills on the back of the legs.

That's a dusty shelf! Yes, it's a gorgeous model - I think I slightly prefer the proportions of the Steel Legend version (which is also more robust and heavier figure), but this is an amazing piece!

It's not that dusty in person- but with the sun shining directly on it, it's certainly noticeable.
Steel Legend certainly had more metal and size, unfortunately, I'm not a big fan with some of the liberties they took with that design, and the general lack of details compared to this. I certainly wouldn't mind owning both though, the MC Kshatriya already weighs almost 2 kilos, and my hands are shaking at the thought of holding something heavier than that like the SL.

Agree with you. Overall MC is more screen accurate. I'm really happy with it (looks great next to the MB and the GFFMC). The only thing that I really envy from the steel legend kshatriya is the locking mechanism for the four wings (or shields I don't know how to call them). I'm afraid that over the years they articulation of the MC will collapse since they are pretty heavy...

Yes, I consider MC to be closer to GFFMC (less diecast, less liberties taken, more details, more decals, more minute paint, matte finish) while the Steel Legend is more like a Metal Build (complete metal skeleton, stylized, metallic paint, effect parts). But the details on the MC blow all Gundam GFFMC's out the water. When you consider how Bandai would price the GFFMC Zaku II the same as this figure, it's terrifying to think about how much it would cost if it came from Bandai. $500 would not be a far-off estimate.
If this were a Bandai figure, I'd be way more concerned with metal joints sagging, thankfully, MC seems to know how to work around that, and those binders haven't budged a centimeter in the past couple days I had it in that pose.

Isn’t there a rumor that a metal build sazabi is on the works?

Holy sh*t! ShowZStore came through for me and sent me a replacement stand adapter for my MC Kshatriya. The original cracked under the weight of the figure + gatling guns.

A lot of these Iron Blooded Orphan resin conversion kits turned into Metal Builds seem to be popular in China. Whose idea was it to crossover Wataru and Sengoku Basara with Gundam IBO, and how did it become popular enough in China for high-end Metal Build figures to be made of them?
These are the kind of resin kits I would have expected would be turned into Metal Builds. Stuff as ambitious as the Kshatriya.

Hi,
Gundammodelcentral, when I checkout, the postcode is suddenly not part of address (shows as billing) so I hesitate and dont proceed. Is this supposed to be like this? Post code is the single most important part of address here if we exclude name of receipient.

You can message them for specific question. www.facebook.com/groups/347660375597344/?fref=nf
